BB cream popularity continues. I recently reviewed Urban Decay’s BB cream. I thought it was ok, but there were a few things about it that prevents me from wanting to purchase it. You can read my full review here. My mom recently bought herself some L’Oreal BB cream. I personally try to avoid L’Oreal until they are cruelty free, but I did apply my mom’s for her once and I was not at all impressed. It is super sparkly and didn’t seem to do much of anything in my opinion. Those experiences were all that I had with BB creams until I bought Tarte’s BB cream about a week ago.

WOW! This stuff is AMAZING! It is a million times better than Urban Decay’s, in my honest opinion.

It comes in 4 shades: fair, light, medium, and tan. I bought the light. The consistency is thick like a cream, but very soft and velvety feeling. It glides over the skin with ease and dries soft and smooth. This amazing cream acts as a primer, moisturizer, light foundation, anti-aging treatment and sunscreen. The sunscreen is broad-spectrum and chemical-free SPF 30 using titanium dioxide & zinc oxide!

Let’s take a look at how it performs on my skin:

and here it is on just half of my face to show the difference a bit more:

I love the coverage it gives. I have been wearing it mostly alone, as I feel it is sufficient coverage for everyday needs. I have used my MAC Studio Fix Plus over it a couple times, and they worked well together. I also used my Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour full coverage foundation over it once and that gave me a nearly flawless look!
